The broiled lamb chops were excellent, however the baked chop was a bit dry. Very few potatoes and onion to compliment the meat. Pasta dishes were delicious. Very loud surroundings and extremely difficult to hear staff or talk with each other making the overall experience a bit stressful. The overall ambiance is sacrificed to accommodate as many people as possible. Our experience was topped off by the verbal abuse of a panhandler en route to the restaurant. Champaign needs to get a handle on this or downtown business could be affected.
